To increase capacity and improve system availability, we
will be migrating eLab to a new set of servers this coming weekend.
The migration will occur between midnight and 8am EST on Saturday, May 11 to
minimize any impact on users. If you have any questions or concerns
regarding this upgrade please contact us as soon as possible.

Three new eLab features are now available! Effective immediately, you can:

Set
Time Zone Preferences. Outside
of the Eastern time zone? Your eLab courses can now be set to reflect
times that align with your time zone. Update your eLab Profile to change
the time zone for all courses/evaluations, or use the Manage and Course
Description links to update time zones for individual courses/evaluations.
The time zone selected will apply to all dates/times associated with the
course or evaluation, including times for tests, assignments, mail and
discussion forums. Note: If you do not change the default, it will be set
to EST.

Conduct
Surveys. Get immediate feedback from
your students with this simple survey tool. Create True/False, Multiple
Choice, and Short Answer/Essay questions and store them in your Question
Bank for future use. Once you’ve selected the questions for your survey, a
link is automatically generated that you can distribute to students via
email, a website, or course postings. Completed surveys are stored for
automated, detailed analysis and reporting, including individual survey
responses, response distribution, and answered/skipped question counts.
All survey data can be printed or exported for further analysis and/or
storage.

Integrate
your LMS using LTI 1.0. Give
your students a seamless learning experience with this simple, standard
method to establish a secure link between eLab and any LTI compatible
learning management system, including Blackboard, Moodle, D2L, Canvas, and
others. With this simple integration, students can access any eLab content
directly from your core LMS system with their single, LMS login.
